Always an Inspiration!

Back from Vegas

So I just got back from Las Vegas, Nevada for a battle and workshop.  I must say that I am quite inspired now. Every time I go to Las Vegas for these dance events, I always come back with some new knowledge and some great experiences.  I went to take a workshop for Locking.  For those of you who are not familiar with the funky dance style of Locking, go to youtube and check out some video clips.  The person teaching the workshop was a man by the name of Scooby Doo.

This man invented many moves in the style of Locking and has revolutionized it to the art form it is today.  It was a great experience learning from someone as knowledgeable about the dance as he was.  Learning a dance that I am not nearly as familiar with is such a great experience and really provides a lot of inspiration and a lot of energy.  Here is a video of him below rocking it like never before.



We were also able to attend the Get Back in Las Vegas.  This is a monthly event that occurs every first Friday of the month and is a party with a lot of funk and soul music.  For more info, check out http://www.thegetbackvegas.com.  It was amazing to see all the people that get out to enjoy this event.  It is also great seeing all the dancers cypher and having a good time.  I wish that Utah has something of this magnitude.

Finally, we attended the Las Vegas Shakedown 10.  This event was so much fun and I am glad that I got to enter this battle.  We did not make it past the prelims but I feel that it really inspired me to train harder and prove myself at the next one.  It was great seeing three of the Utah crews making it past prelims.  Congratulations to Groundhounds crew for making it to the top 16.  Blessings to AOD(Angels of Death) crew for making it to the Semi Finals and really putting Utah on the map.  And a huge round of applause for HisPanics(Mig187, Ali, Eric the Diss) for winning the entire battle.  It is amazing to see these guys do so well and win the battle.  They are always very strong dancers and give it their all!
